The Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, stated this Tuesday (14) that he will continue to fight for the “great deal” that, according to him, President Donald Trump wants to sign with Iran.
Vance — who led negotiations with the Iranians in Pakistan over the weekend and is expected to lead a possible second round of talks if one takes place — said he believed the interlocutors on the other side of the table in Islamabad “wanted to make a deal,” despite decades of “mistrust” between the U.S. and Iran.
“I feel really good about where we are,” he said at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia.
Vance praised Trump’s ambitions for a deal. “He doesn’t want to make a small deal. He wants to make the big deal,” said the vice president.
“The reason the deal hasn’t been reached yet is because the president really wants a deal where Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon, Iran doesn’t sponsor state terrorism, but also where the Iranian people can thrive, prosper and integrate into the global economy. And that’s the proposal he’s offering,” Vance added.
“We will continue negotiating and try to make this happen,” he said. “So I’m going to keep fighting to make that happen.”
Earlier, President Donald Trump signaled that negotiations to end the war against Iran Pakistan over the next two days, after the breakdown of late-week talks led the United States to impose a blockade on Iranian ports.
